Rec. Level 2 Course
$720UMA's Level 2 is a 32-hour, advanced avalanche course, including an 8-hour rescue skills day. It is sanctioned by the American Avalanche Association (A3.)
Focus is on decision-making for Level 1-experienced backcountry travelers seeking to expand their knowledge of snow science; ski or climb bigger lines; travel in diverse terrain and snowpacks; and ski out-of-bounds safely even when avalanche danger is elevated. UMA instructors are A3 pro members, highly trained and experienced as guides, teachers and athletes in various terrain, weather and snowpacks.
Instructors share the practical tools and knowledge that they rely on to plan, travel, gather key snowpack information and make consequential decisions efficiently and effectively in avalanche terrain. With the exception of the rescue-specific training, forty percent of the course is classroom-based. Sixty percent is in the backcountry, in and around avalanche terrain.

Custom First Aid Clinic
$2723-4 Hours, 6 people, Fully customize your clinic by choosing your topics and dates.
Our specialized clinics range from 2-8 hours, focusing on season or activity-specific topics. Although these clinics focus on relevant & essential backcountry skills, they are not intended to replace a full WFA or WFR certification. Instead, they are intended to give backcountry adventurers an introduction to wilderness medicine or an opportunity for certified students to brush up on their skills prior to the start of each season.
See below for examples of our most popular clinics. If you have a group of 6 or more, email us directly to coordinate a customized session for your group!
We do not have any public first aid skills clinics available at this time; however, we would love to put one together for you or your group!
